On July 30th, we celebrated Claire's actual birthday as a family. She was a little confused at why she had a party a week earlier, but was still only 1, so this day (and more presents) seemed to ease her confusion.
I think our children have learned at an early age that the better the reaction to a gift, the more people want to give gifts. These girls get excited even before they recognize what the gift is. It's great.
A bike helmet...
...plus a horse on a stick...
...equals an extra safe ride.
If you are having a birthday in our family, you get to request your favorite meal for dinner. Claire picked macaroni & cheese and chicken. It was an elaborate request, but I managed to boil that water alright. :) For dessert, she chose a raspberry tart, which seemed like a rather grown-up request, considering the other options I presented her with.
At her check-up the next day, we learned that Claire is 27lbs 3oz and is 33 inches tall. She is under the 50th percentile, which is a first for us with either child. (Gabby was 4 pounds heavier when she turned two.) Luckily, they are both cute and healthy!

That's scary...Zoey is 27 lbs and she is 36 inches tall. I wish Zoey would eat a little more.
